The game is to be played Feb. 14, the Friday night of all-star weekend. It will air nationally on TNT at 8 p.m. (Central time) and also will be broadcast on ESPN Radio.

A total of 18 players were selected by league assistant coaches, and rookies and sophomores will be mixed to form the two teams. A draft will be held on Feb. 6 to determine the makeup of the teams and fans then will have a chance to go online to vote for the starters on each team.

The starting lineups will be announced the night of the game.

Antetokounmpo has emerged as a starter for the rebuilding Bucks and is averaging 7.0 points and 4.7 rebounds in 39 games, including 20 starts. He ranks second among rookies in rebounding and seventh in scoring.

Drew was elated to see that Antetokounmpo was chosen for the all-star weekend.

"I don't think he's going to get a lot of sleep," Drew said before the Bucks' game against Phoenix on Wednesday night. "He's going to be really excited and giddy.

"It will give everyone (worldwide) a chance to see him. I'm really excited for him."

Antetokounmpo has recorded two double-doubles with a 16-point, 10 rebound game at Brooklyn on Dec. 27 and a 15-point, 11-rebound game at Oklahoma City on Jan. 11.

"I think he certainly deserves it," Drew said earlier. "To come in at 18 years old (now 19), under the circumstances of coming over here alone, without his family and having to go through that situation, yet maintaining a focus to go out there and play basketball.
